Expensive as far as feeder animals go, anyhow. My sister caught some minnows in a local creek, and since she's actually shown some interest in them, and her birthday is coming up, I figured I'd try and get her interested in fishkeeping...
I went out and bought her a small tank (like 1-1.5g), gravel, and plants. I also bought some Ghost Shrimp. She liked everything but the shrimp. She thinks they're gross. I told her that they'd give her a manicure, but she wasn't impressed. She also wasn't impressed by the fact that since they're clear, you can tell what they've been eating by the color of their stomach.
Soooo they're going to end up in my tank. Which has a 4 or 5" Arowana in it. Somehow, I think the Arowana will be very happy to... err... "meet" the shrimp. He may even invite them over for dinner... Unfortunately, I don't think the shrimp are going to be quite as thrilled to see him as he'll be to see them... :shake: :laugh: :laugh:
